Printer Paul Nash at the opening of the Bibliography Room in the Story Museum, OxfordOn 7 December 2011 the Library celebrated along with the Story Museum in Oxford the successful installation of the Bodleian printing presses at the Story Museum on Pembroke Street. The six large presses (five of iron, one of wood) and other Bibliography Room materials will be housed in the Story Museum where printing workshops and courses will be available for students and for families. The presses will stay in the Museum throughout the period of the redevelopment of the New Library into the Weston Library.

Courses and classes for students, families and members of the public have already begun, and the programme for 2012 will soon be available on the Story Museum website (www.storymuseum.org).
